Community Strengthening
Urunji strengthens community action, helping villages to identify pathways to economic transformation. We build strong networks to ensure that resources are channeled where they are needed the most.
What We Do
- Livelihoods development
- Skills training
- Critical infrastructure
- Financial inclusion
- Volunteer placement
- Business capital
- Adult literacy
We are committed to ending extreme poverty at the household level in rural Malawi by empowering women with essential skills, financial literacy, and business capital.
Research shows that women reinvest over 90% of their income into their families — making them the key to transforming entire communities.
By equipping women to succeed, we unlock a powerful ripple effect that lifts families out of poverty and builds lasting, sustainable change.
